Two Day Cycling Tour Around Lake Sevan

Many people, even from Armenia, have never seen the whole Lake Sevan, from all sides. During this tour we’ll give you an opportunity to discover Sevan from all sides, meet the dawn and purple-red sunset on the shore of the lake. Cycling tour around Lake Sevan perfectly combines outdoor activities with visiting the historical and cultural monuments of Armenia.

This is a unique program that will not be offered anywhere else. A car will accompany us the whole way in case of a bicycle breakdown or simply if someone gets too tired.

Day one

In the morning, a car will bring us with our bicycles from Yerevan to Lake Sevan.

On the first day we will ride east. Our ride will be about 100 km to Vardenis. On the right side, volcanoes of Geghama Mountains will accompany us. On our way we will visit a medieval fortress Berdkunk, Ayravank monastery and Noratus village, where a field with about 200 khachkars (cross stones) is situated. Overnight will be in a comfortable guest house.

Day two

After a homemade breakfast, we will continue our journey to the north and north-west. We’ll ride a little more that day – 110 km, but on this side there are mostly flat roads and descents. And the car will always accompany us.

On the way we will stop at the beach, where we will relax, swim and continue our ride. We’ll finish our tour at the same point from where we have started it and thus complete our circle. We will change, load the bikes in a car and return to Yerevan.
